December 5th-28th: Incommunicado

I will be traveling in India from December 5th to December 28th. I do not expect to have much access to email or phone during this time. My assistant will be checking my voicemail, so if you have an urgent need, please call me and leave a message. I will follow up as soon as I am able. I will return other messages and email in January.

December 19th in Portland, Oregon: Come Hang With the Agilists (Lunch)

The local Portland Agile community gets together every third Friday to eat, drink, and make merry. Oh, and sometimes we talk about agile stuff, too. Come join us! I don't always attend, but I come to as many sessions as my schedule permits. You can find us at the Broadway McMenamins (on the corner of NE Broadway and 15th) on the third Friday of every month at 1:00pm.
